TripAdvisor MCP

An open-source MCP server that interfaces with the TripAdvisor Terra API to provide read-only access to travel data. It enables agents to search for locations (hotels, restaurants, attractions) by name or coordinates, retrieve detailed information, photos, and traveler reviews. It supports batch operations and includes an optional browser bridge for accessing public pages without an API key.
